In fact, the reason why Lucius and Caroline and others appeared in the teahouse was because the Tang Empire wanted to hold a grand expedition ceremony for them, and Lucius did not want to participate in the expedition ceremony, or he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and he would say something that should not be said at the ceremony.

So instead of going to the expedition ceremony, he chose to take Caroline, Modès and Qi Lier and hide in a teahouse in the east city of Chang'an to listen to what those Tang people talked about his expedition.

Sure enough, his Royal Highness from the West was not important in the eyes of the Tang people, and most Tang people even felt that he was just cannon fodder going to the south, so many Tang people did not participate in the expedition ceremony, nor did they go to watch the scene of the army going out.

After leaving the teahouse in the East City with Caroline, Modes, and Kirier, Lecius boarded his mechanical carriage and ordered No. 3 and No. 4 to drive directly out of the city.

According to some prior agreements, Lecius did not plan to rush to the front line of the Tianjiang River with the army, but planned to lead Caroline, Modis and Qilier alone to the south bank of the Tianjiang River alone to take a look at the situation of the demon army in the south and understand the current situation in the south.

Because before he was about to go on the expedition, Lucius suddenly received an invitation from a man, and went to meet that person, and got a lot of news about the south from that person's mouth.

It was none other than the descendant of the King of Hearts who had already infiltrated the East, the current King of Hearts.

He was not surprised to see the other party Lecius again, but the King of Hearts was not surprised to see Lecius, but asked a little strangely: "Aren't you surprised? When you are about to set out for the battle, I will make a special appointment to meet you? Are you really not surprised at all?"

Lucius's response was calm: "Don't be surprised, because I know that you will come to me sooner or later, and it seems that Pavaro is also your invented name, right?"

The young King of Hearts meets with Lucius again. He still covered his face with the white scarf that had been circulated in the Sand Sea Empire, and did not let Lucius see his face.

That's why Lucius guessed that the appearance that the other party had seen for him before, including the name that sued him, was just made up by the other party, not the real appearance and name of the other party, and the other party's approach made Lucius a little incomprehensible?

When the young King of Hearts heard this, he did not tell Lucius his identity, but smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't have to worry, we are not enemies now. I'm here to help you, and I don't want you to die at someone else's hands before you lose to me. ”

After a pause, the King of Red Hearts continued: "What's more, I don't like the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, or the Eternal Divine Kingdom outside the Domain, one by one, putting on a lofty appearance, as if all living beings should surrender and worship them. ”

"Well, it looks like we have something in common. I don't like those guys either, the kind of domineering that orders everyone to bow down and worship, and wants to control everyone's fate, it's really disgusting. I absolutely hate them. ”

The King of Hearts laughed, and then continued, "Hehe, we naturally have something in common, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here today to talk." ”

"Actually. Lucius: I'm jealous of you, because you have what I've always dreamed of, and how I wished I could be the inheritor of the Sanctuary. I was able to gain the favor of the Founder of the Sanctuary, and I was even cultivated as an inheritor since I was a child. ”

The King of Hearts talked about his past, "Since I was sensible, I have suffered all kinds of hardships, I have been forced to separate from our parents, I can only continue to grow in all kinds of cruel training, and every day I open my eyes to see a world full of deception and cruelty, the feeling of being careful every moment and facing despair every day, I'm afraid you can't imagine it." ”

"Originally, in the eyes of the teachers and clansmen who cultivated me, I was the one with the best chance of obtaining the inheritance, and among the descendants of the four card royal clans in the original Sanctuary, I was the only one with the most ability. ”

Hearing this, although he couldn't see the other party's face, Lucius could clearly hear the frustration in the other party's words: "But your appearance made all my efforts come to naught, and later my people and I realized that in fact, we were all deceived by the creators." ”

"The founder has already chosen an heir, and only you Shamrock family can get the last inheritance he left in the Sanctuary, and we, after all, are just vassals, just tools in his hands, no different from the machines he made. ”

Lecius could clearly feel the unwillingness in the other party's words, which was a kind of anger at the unjust practices of the founder.

However, Lucius did not feel any guilt, but said very calmly: "In fact, from the very beginning, you have made one mistake, the founder of the Zào is not a holy realm, but a mechanical civilization, and you insist on your own civilization, how can you be qualified to inherit the inheritance of the founder?"

"Hehe, mechanical civilization? That's just a failed thing, just like my ancestors' empire, didn't they end up drowning in the same sandy sea? A failed civilization, why do you have to hold on? I really don't understand if the founder is old and confused, or you and your family are too stupid?"

Lucius frowned slightly, and wanted to argue with the other party, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be necessary, after all, the ideas and concepts of the two sides were different.

Then he stretched his brows, looked at the other party and asked, "Are you looking for me to tell me this? These are just some things from the past, and there is no point in finding them out now." ”

The King of Hearts shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I don't really want to express anything, I just want to sue you that I am your enemy, and I hope you can live well before the war between us starts, otherwise I don't mind killing you with my own hands when you fail." ”

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, didn't our previous war already start?

Instead, the King of Hearts smiled and said, "Is that just a test for you, what I wanted to deal with at that time was the master, you just gave you some tests by the way, but your cousin really disappointed me, and in the end, if I hadn't appeared in time, you would have died on Suzaku Street." ”

"You were the one who saved me. Lecius asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you save me when you regard me as your enemy, and wouldn't it be nice for me to die on Suzaku Street?"

"I said it. You can only die at my hands, not to mention that I haven't defeated you yet, so you can't die like that, I save you, but also to let you know how vulnerable you are in my eyes, I will give you some more time to let you grow well. ”

Lucius felt a little crying and laughing when he heard this: "You are not afraid, I grow up, and you can't defeat me in the end?"

"Hahaha. Lucius, you've always been so blindly confident, you can't even get through the level in front of you now, and you want to grow to the point where I can't defeat you?"

After a pause, the King of Red Hearts continued: "Do you really think that the invasion of the Southern Demon Clan is such a simple matter? Do you think that with the army of the Demon Clan alone, you can reach the south bank of the Tianjiang River in one fell swoop? Have you ever thought about why the Demon Clan, which was once defeated by the Tang Empire, has such strength as it is now?"

listened to the King of Hearts' questioning. Lucius couldn't help frowning, there were some things he really hadn't thought about yet, and now that he heard the King of Hearts say this, he felt that there was really something strange about it.

Raising his head and staring at the King of Hearts, he asked, "Do you say?" Isn't it because the demon clan has the support of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom behind it, and the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom intend to subvert the Tang Dynasty?"

"Hehe, these are just appearances, and there are some unknown things behind them, some things. You'll never understand if you don't see it for yourself, so before you go on your expedition. In order not to let your death be unclear, I give you a word of advice. ”

Smiling and staring at Lucius, seeing that Lucius was lost in thought, the young King of Hearts spoke: "You'd better go to the south bank of the Tianjiang River to see it yourself, only by seeing the truth with your own eyes can you find a way to solve the current crisis." ”

Lucius vaguely felt that the King of Hearts seemed to know something, and he wanted to ask the other party, and even wanted to capture the other party and ask him directly.

But the young King of Hearts didn't give him a chance, and before Lucius could recover his senses, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind the King of Hearts, and Luciuston was vigilant.

Taking out the weapon that had been prepared earlier, it was a shot at the huge figure, and the magic energy hand cannon released the magic energy bullets that had been gathering for a long time, and directly bombarded the huge figure that had already protected the King of Hearts.

In an instant, the magic energy cannonball exploded, and the air wave almost leveled the surroundings, but fortunately, the place where Lucius and the other party made an appointment was in a very remote place outside Chang'an City, otherwise the losses caused by the two of them would definitely alarm the entire Chang'an City.

Then the huge figure carried the King of Hearts into the sky, and the voice of the King of Hearts echoed in the sky: "Hahaha, Lucius, you are really a good opponent, it seems that we have a tie today, waiting for you to solve the matter of the demon clan, we will fight again." ”

After listening to Lucius's account, Caroline, who was sitting by the fireplace, immediately stood up, rushed to Lucius, raised her hand and punched Lucius in the head.

Then he said angrily, "You actually went to see the King of Hearts quietly alone? Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you take us with you? Hmph, if the old lady and I were present at the time, I would definitely have dismantled that guy to pieces, how could I let him escape?"

Modès took a sip of the tea in the cup and said, "Hey, some people are just an afterthought, if you really take her with you, I'm afraid no one will survive." ”

"You ......" Caroline suddenly turned her head to look at Moddie angrily when she heard this, but the latter drank her tea and did not look up at Caroline even a glance.

On the contrary, Qi Li'er said in a low voice: "Actually, in fact, Lucius was fully prepared before he went, the other party is a person who is good at strategy, not to mention that the other party has a demon god by his side, and it is difficult to kill him, so it is already very powerful for Lucius to come back alive." ”

Hearing Qi Li'er's words, Caroline remembered some of the methods of the King of Hearts, and her original arrogance suddenly wilted, but she still said stiffly: "Even then, we don't need to believe his words, we have to go to the south bank of the Tianjiang River to have a look, right?"

Lucius rubbed the back of his head, raised his head and coughed lightly and said, "Although he is my opponent, he should not lie to me in this matter, not to mention that the demon clan does have too many suspicious things, and it is really difficult to feel at ease if you don't take a look."
